Accessibility

The Irish Fair of Minnesota is committed to making our event accessible to everyone. If you have a specific question about accessibility or want to request an accommodation, please contact us at info@irishfair.com.

Accessible parking

Accessible parking is available on the north side of Water Street between Wabasha and Plato until full. Overflow accessible parking and transportation is available at 90 West Plato Boulevard. Look for the accessible parking sign. A golf cart shuttle is available to take guests from the overflow accessible parking lot to the Main Gate.

A drop-off area is provided in front of the Main Gate.

Wheelchair and motorized scooter accessibility

Harriet Island is a paved, level surface where wheelchairs and motorized scooters can easily navigate on sidewalks. The grass is also level, allowing easy access to tents. The Irish Fair of Minnesota does not offer wheelchairs or motorized scooters.

Special Needs Quiet Space

Irish Fair is pleased to offer Quiet Space at our event for our guests with autism, sensory processing disorders, and other needs. This space will be kept dark, quiet and cool for people who need a break from the Fair. This space is located on the west side of the island between the West Food Bank and the First Aid Station. Please check our map or ask a volunteer to help you find the space.
